Preview :
Namibia and Scotland are set to clash in the 12th match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup at Kensington Oval, Barbados. Namibia enters this match with a stronger recent form, having secured 3 wins out of their last 5 T20I matches. Notably, one of these wins came through a thrilling super over against Oman earlier in the tournament. On the other hand, Scotland has managed 2 wins and 2 losses in their last 5 outings, with one match being abandoned.
Historically, Namibia has dominated the head-to-head encounters in T20Is against Scotland. In their 3 meetings, Namibia has emerged victorious each time, winning once while batting first and twice while chasing. However, in the overall head-to-head record across formats, the competition is tighter, with Namibia having 5 wins to Scotland's 4.
When assessing this Namibian side, two players immediate stand out when it comes to potential investment from a betting point of view. One of those is David Wiese, his all-round skills and experience being so crucial to Namibia. He balances the side perfectly with his power-hitting down the order and skiddy right-arm pace with the ball.
Multiple markets appeal when it comes to backing Wiese, with value to be had via the ‘Team Top Bowler’ market and the ‘Player to Score Most Match Sixes’ market, Wiese available on that one for those considering a low stake, high return bet.
The other player that draws attention is left-arm pace bowler Ruben Trumpelmann, who took out Oman’s entire top three, including wickets with the first two balls of the game on his way to figures of 4/21 from four overs. Such potency cannot be ignored and the ‘Team Top Bowler’ market could also come into play for Trumpelmann, as well as backing him to accumulate 2+ wickets.
Scotland opted for Michael Clark to open the batting with George Munsey against England and his 45 from 30 balls as part of a 90-run unbroken partnership should see him retain his place here. Trumpelmann poses a big challenge for both Clark and Munsey, but they each showed early on against the likes of Mark Wood and Jofra Archer that they’ll take it on in the powerplay.
With that in mind, consider small stakes on both to score over 2.5 match fours as covering the two offers extra insurance should either be dismissed early on. Munsey though in particular is notorious for his fearless and attempts to clear the boundary and an extra play on him to hit over 0.5 match sixes warrants consideration.
